Positive tests among Mets leads to postponements vs. Marlins, Yankees

Two members of the New York Mets' organization have tested positive for COVID-19, leading to the postponement of their next two games.

The Mets will not play Thursday against the Marlins in Miami, and the Friday opener of their weekend series at Citi Field against the cross-town rival New York Yankees also has been postponed.

Major League Baseball announced the positive tests and postponed games Thursday, saying that "additional testing and contact tracing" will be conducted.

The positive tests were for one Mets player and one staff member, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan and multiple reports.
